EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, captured by the talented artist Frederick Fiebig in the 1840s, transports us back to the bustling streets of Chowringhee in Calcutta, India. The aerial view showcases a cityscape that epitomizes the grandeur of the British Raj during the 19th century. As our eyes wander over this monochromatic masterpiece, we are greeted with an array of magnificent buildings that stand as testaments to both Victorian architecture and India's rich history. The intricate details on each structure tell stories of a bygone era when Calcutta was at its zenith. The winding roads and lanes below invite us to explore every nook and cranny of this vibrant city. As we traverse through these streets in our minds, we can almost hear the echoes of horse-drawn carriages passing by and catch glimpses of locals going about their daily lives. Chowringhee's charm lies not only in its architectural beauty but also in its cultural significance. This print serves as a window into a time when Calcutta was known as Hindoostan - a thriving hub where East met West under the watchful eye of British rule. Frederick Fiebig's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment vividly to life. With Kolkata now standing proudly on this very spot, this print reminds us of how far we have come while honoring our shared heritage.
